Detached three-bay two-storey over basement stone former mansion, built c. 1790, now a ruin. Central projecting circular tower. Roof missing. Uncoursed rubble limestone walling, projecting base plinth. Pointed-arch window openings, dressed ashlar limestone chamfered surrounds, limestone sills, windows missing. Pointed-arch entrance door in tower, dressed ashlar limestone chamfered surround, door missing. Detached house and outbuildings to rear (east).
This Gothic-style house sits in a picturesque setting as a romantic ruin, casting an impressive presence on the landscape. Many clues as to its original form and state survive including some fine stonework to facades, chimneys, and openings. Clearly a house, rich in history and skillfully designed.
